2009-12-08 Board of Supervisors Meeting to discuss the Concow/Yankee Hill Area
   

BACKGROUND:  At the September 17, 2009 General Plan 2030 Public Workshop held on the Draft General Plan 2030 document and map, members of the Concow and Yankee Hill communities spoke about their community and the need for further review concerning proposed General Plan 2030 land use designations. Further communications took place between Development Services staff and a local community group, the Golden Feather Community Alliance. A variety of concerns were brought up, including the need to redesignate the area in Concow now designated as “Resource Conservation” under Butte County General Plan 2030 to “Foothill Residential” to more closely match land use patterns and needs in the Concow area. Community members have also expressed that participation in the Butte County General Plan 2030 process during the Alternatives Evaluation and Selection phase was limited by the Camp Fire during the summer of 2008, which was especially devastating to this area.
   

Brief Meeting Summary:

  1. Changed the Resource Conservation designation in Concow to Foothill Residential, and provided direction that existing zoning will guide future zoning in this area.
  2. Instructed staff to provide additional detail in the Zoning Ordinance concerning the allowance of agricultural uses in FR zones.
  3. Instructed staff to work with Concow/Yankee Hill groups on identifying TM parcels that could potentially be changed to FR, which would also allow for second dwellings on these parcels.
  4. Instructed staff to review the list of commercially zoned and designated properties against the 2030 land use map and recommend changes where needed.
  5. Update the Retail/Office GP 2030 designation to include a residential component for a Rural Commercial zone, and develop a Rural Commercial zone in the Zoning Ordinance.
